Dainese’s new Metal 7 gloves are the ones the Italian company issues to its MotoGP riders, so you’d assume that they are the pinnacle of the firm’s hand protection range. They are made from goatskin leather with an aramid fibre lining, joined together with aramid fibre stitching and pre-curved for comfort. Protection levels are, as expected, high: Pro-Tek titanium inserts are moulded into the PU knuckle protectors, and TPU sliders are fitted on the fingers, along with Distortion Control Protection on the little finger – a PU insert fitted to prevent over-rotation. All this leads to the gloves getting EN13594 Level 2 certification. They come in black/red, black/yellow or plain black for a hefty SRP of £399.95, but then top-level racing tech never comes cheap.
